The attention of the Board was brought
to the defective manner in Which sewer
or box cnlvert had been put in In the city
Of Lambertville by Freebooter Arnett; the
sidewalks being injured by the same. 1t
appeared that before the work was COM
pleted the bill had been ordered paid I'M
der the impression that the work had

nett and the committee were instructed
to finish the work.

deavor seemed to be now by the guardian
to have the Board at the expense of the
county to collect the money from the rail-
road company and turn it over to him to
pay debts other than that due the county
for money paid for her expenses. On
motion the attorney was instructed to
proceed to make the collection for the

tion had on Tuesday upon the box Gull
vert put down by him in Lambertville.
He claimed the work was done to the sat
isfaction Of the Street Commissioner and
that what was needed would not cost over
SO so and ought to be done by the city.
A resolution of thanks TO the officers
for their courtesy and ability was unani-
mously adopted.

Formerly the square piano was gem
orally used, notwithstanding it was al
ways cumbersome aud inconvenient, as
compared with the more elegant upright
piano. Undoubtedly this was because
the former was best as a musical instru-
ment. improvements in the Upright Pr
ano have latterly given it the preference.
One made by the Mason & Hamlin Com
pany gives the upright still more accept
apce. BY an ingenious arrangement, the
strings of the piano are fastened directly
to the iron plate, dispensing with any in
teryention of wood. The result is more
perfect vibration Of the strings, produc-
Ing more pure, refined, musical tones.
and much greater durability, including
freedom from liability to get SO easily out
Of tune.

township, and some time in 1885 Apgar a
cattle were driven to his Pound and BY
him impounded. Apgar, finding it out,
demanded his cattle, but refused to pay
the Pound Keeper the fees to which he
was entitled, and finally took his cattle
out Of Wolverton's yard without his au-
thority or consent. Wolverton then
brought his action against Apgar for
Pound. breach. The defence was that Il
was not o Public Pound, consequently be

PrnhIhitIon In Iowa,

The figures 10 the report of the Secre-
tary of State of Iowa are quite encourag-
ing to the friends of prohibition. In fifty
five Of the ninety. nine counties there was
not single commitment to the county
jail during the year. The two State PEN
itentiaries contained on the first Of March
forty -four inmates less than they did at
the same time last year. This looks well
for prohibition in Iowa.

Some time last Fall, Eldridge, the
young son Of Mr.. j. M. Van SyckeI,
Principal of Reading Academy in Elem
ington, fell from his bicycle upon his
face, iniuring his left eye SO seriously
that an experienced occulist failed to heal
the hurt, though the effort was not
abandoned. Some four weeks ago the
little fellow again fell while at play
about the house, again hurting the same
eye. This second accident lost him the
sight of the eye entirely, and the unfor-
tunate lad was taken to celebrated eye
infirmary in New York about d week
ago, where it was decided that the eye
would have to be removed in order to
save his life, the diseased and injured
organ appearing to affect bis general
health very greatly. The eye was there
fore taken out. since which time IN inn
provement in his condition is manifested,
and il is hoped that he will be able to
return home in few weeks.

Installation servicss.

Installation Services.
The installation service, BY which Rev.
William Swan was constituted Pastor Of
the Presbyterian Church in this city,
took place last evening. The exercises
opened with an anthem excellently ren
dered by large choir. The music,
throughout, was very good and the solos
BY Mrs. Titus and Miss Ely, were es-
pccially worthy Of mention.
The sermon was preached by Rev.
Benjamin L. Swan, of the Nassau Pres
bytery, the father of the pastor. Il was
an able aud thoughtful discourse. The
Moderator of the Presbytery, Rev. Mr..
Queen, Of Titusville, proposed the con-
stitutional questions to Mr.. Swan and the
congregation, and declared the relation of
pastor constituted.
The charge to the pastor by Rev. Mr..
Brooks, of Trenton, very pleasantly took
the form of welcoming the pastor back to
the Presbyterial relationships formerly,
for ten years, sustained by him. DR..
StuddifOrd, of Trenton. gave the people a
most capital charge, in which commenda-
tiCn and advice were judiciously mingled.
Rev. Mr.. Woolverton, of Trenton, who
was brought into the church of Stockton,
under Mr.. Swans ministry, offered the
installing prayer, and the services closed
with the benediction BY the pastor.
Rev. Messrs. Boswell and Bullock, of
the Methodist and Baptist Churches, were
present and took part In the exercises.
The large congregation filling the church
testified TO the interest of the people and
thcir determination to join with their new
pastor In all Christian endeavors. Alto
gether it was most interesting service
and an suspicious beginning of what it is
hoped will be happy aud useful union of
pastor aud people.
